RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer storage whose contents can be accessed in a fixed time not considering the location of the data in memory. RAM is usually used for primary storage (main memory) for use in the computer and change the information actively, although some tools use some type of RAM to provide long-term secondary storage (Wikipedia). Increasing the amount of RAM makes a computer more powerful computing power. Computers can run complex programs and working with large files.

Before you want to replace or add to the amount of RAM memory that is already there. There are a few things to my friend noticed, including the following:

1. Regarding the maximum memory that can be used or read. That is how most PC / laptop you can read Memory RAM. If a maximum of 8 GB of read only, so if you put 16 GB of RAM ever read / unused yes only 8 GB.

2. The type of memory that the processor supports. The purpose of the second point is the maximum speed of the RAM is specified DDR1, DDR2, or DDR3. Well kept how do we know how much RAM speed?

The answer is very possible, as long as the new RAM/is added has a type, series and bandwidth is the same as the old RAM. As mentioned earlier. Why? Since my laptop is also different size RAM. This proves it:
